Entered according to the act of Congress, in the year 1852, by J. B. 

Keller, in the Clerk’s Office of the District Court of Penn’a 


PHILADELPHIA: J. B. KELLER. 



Christopher Crow, whom you 
do not know, 

Went to a friend’s residing at 
Bow; 

He got such a thump at Aldgate 
pump, 

He long was unable to stir a 
stump.

night, 

But returned in a dismal 
plight ; 

A broken nob had poor little 
Bob, 

“ Oh dear !” said he, “ what a 
terrible job!” 


COMICAL BOYS. 



Timothy Gay went out one 
day, 

Into a field nearly covered 
with hay; 

A lamb and a hog, and a little 
dog, 

Frighten’d him so that he fell 
in a bog. 





derful bear; 

The bear stood upright, he was 
terrified quite, 

And poor Simon Hare fell down 
in affright. 


6 COMICAL BOYS. 



Alfred Slim went ’round the 
brim 


Of a very deep well — it was sad 
for him, 

Dick Wall cried ho! — which 
frightened him so, 

That he fell to the bottom, right 
down below. 


COMICAL BOYS 



Freddy Sly did love apple pie, 

Or any thing good that he came 
nigh;— 

A mutton chop, crust, bottom 
and top, 

In short, he knew not where 
to stop. 




Stephen Gill ran down a high 
hill, 

Much against his god-father’s 
will ; — 

I saw him fall, — said Betty 
Ball, 

For he overturned my apple 
stall.

Little Ned Brown had half a 
crown, 

A present from his aunt in 
town ; 

The pastry-cook two shillings 
took, 

The other sixpence bought his 
hook. 



Anthony Hull had a very thick 
skull, 

And one day in Smithfield he 
met a mad hull ; 

He knocked him down dead 
with a blow of his head ; 

What a precious hard pate he 
has ! all the folks said. 



Davy Drowns went to see Mis- 
ter Jones, 

And rode very gently oyer the 
stones ; 

But at Edmenton wash he made 
such a splash, 

That Gilpin himself never made 
such a dash. 


12 COMICAL BOYS. 



Dicky White had quite a new 
kite, 

Seven feet long almost, (not 
quite,) 

He took it to fly, and the wind 
was high, 

So it took him up with it, (very 
nigh.)

Little Billy Cox would fight 
and box, 

And one day he got himself set 
in the stocks, 

At the village fair ; and all who 
were there, 

At Billy did nothing hut laugh 
and stare.

jam, 

But soon he cried, how sorry 
I am! 


For he found his mistake, when 
his stomach did ache, 

And they brought him three 
doses of physic to take. 


COMICAL BOYS. 15 



Sam and Ben Sprig ran after 
a pig, 

Which they cruelly beat on the 
back with a twig ; 

The sow hearing a noise, threw 
down both the boys — 

A lesson to him who mischief 
enjoys.
